3 Chapter 3: New District

After a long night of rest, Nikolai woke up feeling better than ever, it seems that he already made up for the lost energy, and even his own ability made up for the weakness.

Feeling the force in his body, Nikolai felt that it wouldn't be hard to pop an apple.

"Well, it seems that I really worry about nothing..." At first, he thought that he would become too weak after creating clones, but it seems that he just worried unnecessarily.

Nikolai quickly got up and showered, after changing his clothes, he went downstairs to find Kai, who was already serving breakfast.

'Great, this is the life of a king..' Nikolai smiled inwardly.

While eating the food prepared by Kai, he connected to the hive mind, the accumulation of knowledge from a whole night left Nikolai a bit dazed, this should already be enough to work in a small company, if it continues like this, even those geezers with Years of experience will not be able to keep up, of course, Nikolai did not dare to be careless, so he quickly gave orders to Kai.

"Continue like this, after today, it won't be appropriate for you to continue living here, you can go to a hotel for now." Said.

"Yes sir."

...

After that, Agent Murphy, a real estate agent, arrived, after analyzing the house and everything required, they reached an agreement to bring people interested in the house.

"Thank you, Mr. Murphy, I was looking forward to your visit." Nikolai said.

"Of course, he is in the best of hands." Murphy said and shook his hand, of course Nikolai didn't take this seriously.

And so, 5 days slowly passed, during this time, countless people have visited, even attracting the attention of the neighbors, who began to suspect that I am selling illicit things... but the important thing.

I finally managed to sell the house for 400,000 USD to a company that is planning to redevelop the entire neighborhood, for which they quoted a higher price.

Some people might say that's too little, but you should consider that it's only 2003, so the value still isn't as much as it is in some years.

During this time, Kai has been staying in a hotel a few blocks from here, during this time, he has studied almost a third of everything that can be learned online about computer science and hacking.

Which for now is enough to protect us from the cameras.

After that, I immediately contacted a moving company, and we agreed that they will come this afternoon.

After contacting a few more people, I left home after a long time, covering my face from the sun's rays.

'With this, I just need a place to move to.'

And my first choice was... a warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

...

"Oi.. Jean, haven't you figured anything out yet?" Storm asked a little frustrated, they have been looking for the new Mutant for more than 4 days, but now they don't even dare to look at the professor's face.

"I'm not sure, it's likely that he has a teleportation ability and isn't here at all anymore, it's also likely that he's afraid to go out and people will find out." said Jean, so many mutants are afraid to even show themselves to their own parents.

"Right, Jean, he's most likely the monster type and won't even dare to come out." Scott said, gloating over the mutant's misfortune that has been going around him all over the place to no avail.

"Scott, you shouldn't say that, we are all… mutants." Storm whispered.

"Yeah, yeah... just kidding..." Scott said, avoiding Storm's gaze.

At that moment, everyone arrived at a square, the whole place is completely surrounded by people on all sides, some are in a hurry and others are just enjoying their time as a couple.

At this point, Scott got a little excited and slowly approached Jean. "Oi, Jean, what do you think if..."

After Jean silenced him, she looked around her.

"I can't quite feel who is who, there are too many voices, we need to go to a more discreet place." Jean said and walked quickly, with the other Mutants foolishly following her, including a bewildered Scott.

But what no one noticed was a guy walking calmly while adjusting a New York Yankees cap just bought from a random booth.

...

Nikolai smiled as he finally reached the outskirts of New York, waved goodbye to the taxi driver, and got out.

Nikolai smiled and took a deep breath.

"Okay, new neighborhood, unlocked."
